Video of preacher freaking out on congregation goes viral

Jim StandridgeThe video of a crazed, Oklahoma Baptist preacher berating and insulting his congregation has gone viral, and after watching, one must wonder who in the world would continue attending this man’s church?

You find yourself cringing when Jim Standridge of the Immanuel Baptist Church started freaking out on a man who, God help him, fell asleep during the sermon.

You know Standridge has gone off the deep end when he walked down into the pews saying, “Son, don’t you go to sleep while I’m talking. Hey, hey, hey don’t you lay your head back. I’m important. I’m somebody.”

He turns his attention to another poor soul sitting nearby: “Where have you been? What makes you think I’m going to marry you? You’re one of the sorriest church members I have. You’re not worth 15 cents!”

Oh yes, he really said that and a whole lot more, even to the person videotaping: “”If you loved me and submitted to me, you wouldn’t go about establishing your own kingdom in the video room!”

It’s psychologically bizarre how Standridge berates congregants –calling them out by name, by sin, by past actions – then tells everyone how much he loves them.

He seems to think his love, and his hugs and his handshakes will excuse his holier-than-thou behavior.

In fact, Standridge isn’t remotely apologetic. According to the Huffington Post:

[Standridge] said his church “applauds him” and that his congregants “love and esteem” him. Nevertheless, he said he finds it the “biggest joke of the century that this is going viral.”
